Jess Bartlet on SoundBetter

An accomplished songwriter, music producer, and audio-engineer experienced in Pro-Tools, Logic, and Ableton. I am also a multi-instrumentalist, drummer and percussionist, who used to drum for Sam Smith. In particular, I specialise in jazz/funk and world percussion.

As a self-producing artist and songwriter I have two projects - Island Fox and Treasureseason, each commercially successful in their own right with national press + radio, and DSP support. I love collaborating, and have worked on songs, and/or co-writing sessions with Moglii, Sam Smith, Mura Masa, Blood Cultures, Blackbird Blackbird, Hazey Eyes, Lxury, Devault, ++.

As a freelance recording and mix-engineer, I was a regular attendee of Red Bull Music's monthly "Normal Not Novelty". I obtained an Audio Engineering Bursary from MathWorks! for a one year fellowship to the international Audio Engineering Society (2018-2019). Since then I have studied under incredible engineers such as Fiona Cruickshank (Jacob Collier, Keaton Henson), Steph Marziano (Denai Moore, Hayley Williams) Marta Salogni (Björk, Bon Iver), Grace Banks (FKA Twigs, Marika Hackman), Rick David (Jordan Rakei, Tom Misch, Alfa Mist) as well as Abbey Road's Paul Pritchard, ++. In 2018, I assisted on sessions at The Church Studios, including Charlotte Day Wilson and Matty Tavares, as well as sessions at Strongroom.

Meanwhile, in January this year (2020) I produced/engineered with otta (The Fader, Dazed) as part of the PRS ReBalance at Old Chapel Leeds; a scheme pairing artists with a professional producer/engineer. I am due to take part in PRS ReBalance again later this year with CHROMA.
